Describe your job and our suppliers will send you quotes
iseekplant connects construction professionals with a wide range of equipment, including Bobcat and truck combos ideal for excavation work and material transportation. These combos, often including a skid steer loader and truck, are perfect for tasks like digging, lifting, and hauling soil or spoil, making them versatile for projects ranging from commercial sites to backyard renovations. With over 25,000 verified suppliers across Australia, iseekplant ensures you find the right equipment for your needs. Below, we outline general hire rates and available Bobcat and truck combo types.
Bobcat and Truck combos are available for wet hire (with operator) and dry hire (without operator). However, wet hire is more common and involves the machines coming to your job site and undertaking tasks at your instruction with a qualified operator of both the truck and the bobcat (and the mini excavator, which is also often included). Dry hire is relatively uncommon, but some operators will hire the machines for you on that basis. Here are the average hire rates (which are our best guesses, vary greatly by region and exclude GST):
Combo Type | Avg. Dry Hire Rates (per hour) | Min. Dry Hire Hours | Avg. Wet Hire Rates (per hour) | Min. Wet Hire Hours |
---|---|---|---|---|
Bobcat and Tipper Truck | $80 - $150 | 8 Hours | $100 - $200 | 4 Hours |
Bobcat and Flatbed Truck | $90 - $160 | 8 Hours | $110 - $210 | 4 Hours |
Bobcat and Water Truck | $100 - $170 | 8 Hours | $120 - $220 | 4 Hours |
